Car crushed in Wednesday's rain storm
Trees fell around Anderson during the heavy rain storm. The 1994 Geo Metro was half the height it was after a large oak tree fell on it and two houses on Fulwer Street in Anderson. "That's my son's car," said Roy Leslie near his slightly damaged home. Mr. Leslie happened to get out of the car and the rain to get in his home around 8:30 pm Wednesday night, minutes before the tree fell over the car, and part of his home.

Antonio's father Roy Leslie said he got out of the car shortly before the tree fell around 8:30 p.m. to get in the home, right, at 530 Fulwer Street in Anderson.
